Lewis Miller (born 24 August 2000) is an Australian professional soccer player who plays as a right back for EFL Championship club Blackburn Rovers and the Australia national team. ^[1]

Club career

Central Coast Mariners

In October 2019, Miller was awarded a TAG Foundation scholarship with Central Coast Mariners, following a strong pre-season. ^[2] Three months later, in January 2020, he signed a two-year contract, upgrading him to a professional senior contract. ^[3]

Hibernian

In June 2022 Miller signed a three-year contract for Scottish side Hibernian, effective from 1 July. ^[4] He had been due to join Australian side Macarthur FC, having signed a pre-contract deal with them before the end of his contract at Central Coast Mariners, but then signed for Hibernian instead, netting Macarthur FC an undisclosed transfer fee. ^[5]

In April 2025, Hibs activated a one-year extension to Miller's contract. ^[6]

Blackburn Rovers

In August 2025, Miller signed a 3-year deal with the option of a further 12 months at Blackburn Rovers. ^{[7] [8]}

International career

Miller was first called up to the Australian under-23 side in October 2021, for 2022 AFC U-23 Asian Cup qualification matches against Indonesia in Tajikistan. ^[9] He made his debut for the side against Indonesia on 26 October 2021, winning a penalty in a 3–2 win. ^[10] Miller was subsequently called up to the team for the final 2022 AFC U-23 Asian Cup in June 2022. ^[11]

He was selected by the senior Australian (Socceroos) team in October 2023. ^[12] Miller made his international debut on 13 October as a substitute against England at Wembley, ^[13] becoming the 635th Socceroo. ^[14] He made his first full appearance in the starting line-up on 16 November 2023 in a World Cup qualifier match against Bangladesh, in which his side won 7–0 at AAMI Park. ^{[15] [16]}

On 3 February 2024 Miller gave away a penalty and a direct free kick against South Korea at the quarter-finals of the 2023 AFC Asian Cup, with both set pieces leading to South Korea scoring; the game would end in a 1–2 loss. ^[17]

Miller scored his first international goal on 10 October 2024, in a 3–1 win against China in 2026 World Cup qualifying. ^[18]
